Smart services to transform the efficiency and sustainability of communities, leading to reduction in service costs and carbon emissions, improving the quality of life for all. “Everything that happens in the world has to happen somewhere.” Hugh Abbott, The Thick of It
BIM meets geospatial • BIM meets geospatial o Are these things really incompatible? …. o … we used to talk of CAD and GIS in the same way. • … but for the meantime I want to explore the geospatial connection in three different ways – how does geospatial serve to integrate our nation’s infrastructure? o Visualising the appearance of new places o Mapping a sense of place o Modelling a sense of function
The basic data requirements • Data must be consistent • Data must model the real world – not simply map it or allow visualisation. The demand is for data that supports modelling of processes • Data should be authoritative – to a readily available specification • Features in the real world must be identifiable • Data must be maintainable and maintained
Just about visualisation …

3D - Two centuries of learned behaviour… We carefully survey urban landscapes and model them in 2D… …for users to apply this 2D data to help make decisions which are inherently 3-dimensional.
3D drivers in the UK Consultative Data analytics planning Pervasive 3D media Right to light Smart cities Carbon reduction Climate change adaption BIM Protected views Situational awareness Risk Slide 14
Some challenging parameters for 3D developments ‘Less’ than this ‘More’ than this Survey standards Maintained Nationally consistent Underpinning, interoperable, analytical Economical
What do we mean by ‘analytical 3D’? Application level Description Example 1: Pure visual Getting a sense of place or navigating to a destination A fly-through or personal routing display (e.g. web search giants) 2: Visualanalytical Making judgements or decisions, informed by visual information provided by 3D. Viewing a planned development from different perspectives to see how it would impact on views of a city 3: Propagation analysis Using 3D-based algorithms to Running a viewshed or noise mapping analysis analyse phenomena such as visibility, shade, noise or airborne pollution 4: Topological analysis Querying the model in terms of spatial relationships Querying all roads less than 30m from buildings with a volume greater than 5000 cu m 5: Database analysis Using identifiers to relate the 3D model to associated datasets Querying the ownership status of buildings with roof suitable for solar power generation
"What we are trying to do is take all of the information that we as a city collect on a day-to-day basis... and synthesise it to do something useful." Mike Flowers: Office of Policy and Strategic Planning, New York City
